MySQL 9.0 Release Notes
The PROFILING table provides
statement profiling information. Its contents correspond to the
information produced by the SHOW
PROFILE and SHOW PROFILES
statements (see Section 15.7.7.31, “SHOW PROFILE Statement”). The table is
empty unless the profiling
session variable is set to 1.
Note
This table is deprecated; expect it to be removed in a future MySQL release. Use the Performance Schema instead; see Section 29.19.1, “Query Profiling Using Performance Schema”.
The PROFILING table has these
columns:
QUERY_IDA numeric statement identifier.
SEQA sequence number indicating the display order for rows with the same
QUERY_IDvalue.STATEThe profiling state to which the row measurements apply.
DURATIONHow long statement execution remained in the given state, in seconds.
CPU_USER,CPU_SYSTEMUser and system CPU use, in seconds.
CONTEXT_VOLUNTARY,CONTEXT_INVOLUNTARYHow many voluntary and involuntary context switches occurred.
BLOCK_OPS_IN,BLOCK_OPS_OUTThe number of block input and output operations.
MESSAGES_SENT,MESSAGES_RECEIVEDThe number of communication messages sent and received.
PAGE_FAULTS_MAJOR,PAGE_FAULTS_MINORThe number of major and minor page faults.
SWAPSHow many swaps occurred.
SOURCE_FUNCTION,SOURCE_FILE, andSOURCE_LINEInformation indicating where in the source code the profiled state executes.
Notes
PROFILINGis a nonstandardINFORMATION_SCHEMAtable.
Profiling information is also available from the
SHOW PROFILE and
SHOW PROFILES statements. See
Section 15.7.7.31, “SHOW PROFILE Statement”. For example, the following queries
are equivalent:
SHOW PROFILE FOR QUERY 2;
SELECT STATE, FORMAT(DURATION, 6) AS DURATION
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROFILING
WHERE QUERY_ID = 2 ORDER BY SEQ;
